We won't be posting any new columns between now and January 4, so I wanted to leave you with this year-end roundup - a favorite column selected by the author, and a favorite column selected by me!
By press time I had not heard from Bianca Laureano, author of Media Justice, as to her favorite, but mine is Communal Survival: Holding Each Other Accountable and Healing, for its thoughtful discussion of a "scandal" in hip hop.
L. Michael Gipson, author of Music and Musings, selects American Idol: Killing Pink Dreams as his fave of the year. I had selected True Blood: Race, Sex, and Notes to Alan Ball because of its much-needed commentary there, but I'm also going to highlight this elegy to E. Lynn Harris - such a sad loss for 2009. Check out his work on SoulTracks, too.
Eric Jost, author of Culture Voyeur, selects Take Pride in Pride as his favorite. I pick The New Masculinity, which explores far-right attacks on gender equity.
And Yes Means Yes author Jaclyn Friedman selects Round is a Shape as her favorite, while I loved Let's Talk About Casual Sex, Baby.
Check out all their columns and their other work, linked to above! Chime in with your faves as well!
